[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We see family on christmas eve and spend christmas at home. [b]My chlidren opening presents under the tree at their own home trumps whatever extended family wants.[/b] They are only young once.[/quote]

So opening presents are more important than spending time with family? I guess one day your kids will tell your grandchildren that opening presents under the tree matters more than spending time with you : ) Merry Christmas![/quote]

Oh wow! What a grinch!

As a kid I hated having to sleep in cramped uncomfortable pull outs (or the floor) and having to be quiet until the adults woke up. It sucked the joy out of visiting grandparents and out of Christmas. I really envied my friends who got to stay home and wake up early and drink cocoa. It sounded so nice.

I visit family all the time, but my children sleep in a comfortable cozy bed on Christmas Eve and run down the stairs on Christmas Day. It is wonderful! Plus, they actually get to enjoy grandparent visits since it’s not taking away from the fun of Christmas. [/quote]
